One hundred thousand to a million—this sounds like a dream in the crypto world. But have you ever thought about whether you need to hit a tenfold coin to turn things around?



I've been in this circle long enough to see too many people blinded by "shortcuts." Betting on altcoins, trading high-leverage contracts, chasing rallies and selling dips... Every story starts glamorous, but the ending is often being liquidated, wiped out, or left with nothing. Frankly, greed only brings regret.

Actually, there's a more solid path. From 100K to 200K, 200K to 400K, 400K to 800K, and finally breaking a million—three relatively steady doubles are enough. Sounds slow? Yes. But because it's slow, each step is solid, and you don't have to be terrified every day.

My approach is simple: only spot trading, basically avoiding contracts. Why? The biggest advantage of spot is protecting your principal, with volatility within controllable limits. As long as the trend isn't reversed, time will naturally be on your side. Contracts are different; leverage amplifies not only gains but also risks—one dip, and your account is gone.

For steady growth, two core points cannot be escaped:

**Choose the right targets**—Focus on coins with long-term fundamentals; don't be led astray by short-term surges of "hot coins." These coins tend to come and go quickly, and the most common victims are retail investors.

**Extend the cycle**—Doubling your investment isn't about impulsive moves over a few weeks but about slowly realizing gains over one or two years. With a stable mindset, the results will naturally follow.

The few targets I’ve recently positioned in are not the hottest in the market, but they have already been stabilized in terms of technical patterns and fundamentals for a long time. Enter gradually, don’t be greedy when prices rise, don’t panic when they fall—only those who can hold on will catch the big moves.

This path is indeed not exciting; it’s very dull. But in the crypto world, those who truly last long and earn steadily—eight out of ten—do it this way. They’re not unwilling to be quick, but they understand the cost of rushing.

If you truly agree with the theory that "slow is fast," consider positioning ahead of the trend for the next cycle. Don’t gamble on short-term wins or losses, just aim to go further.

That's right, I'm also a spot trader, and contracts are really a trap. Those who shout about tenfold coins every day have basically never survived a bull or bear market, or they are just survivors' bias. I've seen too many people leverage their dreams of getting rich overnight, only to be liquidated and learn the lesson over and over again. It's better to grow steadily and reliably; although it may be boring, at least there's no frustration. Genuine profit and making quick money are fundamentally different.

That's reasonable, but how many can really endure? Most people will still be torn apart by market sentiment.

That's right, but too many people just won't listen. Newcomers always think they can win that one bet.

Exactly right, but too many people just can't listen, still dreaming of getting rich overnight.

Basically, it's about steady compound interest work. It may sound dull, but it really lasts a long time.

To be honest, tripling your investment sounds easy, but sticking with it is the real challenge.
